Full ignore.
This is better, you could have your boss insist on using terribel methodologies or unsafe crap, because he thinks that is the way to do it.
You can't do anything. There are people still afraid of a face mask, strongly believing it was an evil tool to remove their freedom, and despite being use in any medical place, and in Japan because of the pollution, you can bring them any facts you want, they will still start to get a heart attack whenever they see a face mask.
Best is to ignore people like your co-workers.
Earth is filled with idiots, and you can do nothing about it
Ask questions. Get them to explain themselves back to reality. If you can fake believing them but just being confused about the thing that leads them back to reality, they'll either get mad and stop talking to you about it because they run out of bs to repeat, or snap out of it.
since ~3 months i have a new work colleague in my office that is very deep in the esoteric topic (~healing energies that are not measurable), something i can`t take seriously.
My "solution" was to tell her that this is not my understanding of this world and that i don`t want to talk about such things with her during work, and after that i ignored her when starting with something (wasn`t easy for me to not correct her/ share my opinion about the topic) like i didn`t hear her. After only a few days she understood "my problem" and since then i have my peace with it.
My closest colleague is a full-blown knight of the order ef the tinfol-hat. And it just can't be helped. So i´m looking for interesting job-openings elsewere...
You can always beat him into submission. These people need a bit tought love in my experience. If logic doesnt win any ground, a good smack across the back of the head usually does.
